Nicolas Aube-Kubel suspended two games for illegal check to the head

The Lehigh Valley Phantoms were hit by a suspension on Sunday afternoon. Nicolas Aube-Kubel will miss the next two games after the AHL suspended him for his illegal hit to the head during Friday night’s contest.

He received a two-minute minor for his check to the head at the 1:18 mark on the second period. Aube-Kubel was suspended under the provisions of AHL Rule 28.1 (supplementary discipline).
